What is your roadmap for 2023?

By far the most important thing in 2023 will be our conversion from a bootstrap to a conventional company with paid salaries. We have hit the limit in what can be done in our current structure, so we expect to seek our next funding round, or affiliation with another company, as negotiated and the investment market permits. The answers to your other questions depend on how that goes. Naturally, we can’t talk about the details.

Hi,

As a complete novice the whole idea sounds amazing. Given the recent shift(s) in focus towards more hardware based startups, I really do hope you manage to maintain your vision and identity while looking for further funding, hopefully maintaining your obvious passion for the project.
Please let this be allowed to flourish (or fail) on it’s merits, rather than at the whim of short term fiscal whims.

Wishing everyone the best for a stronger 2023 and beyond.

How about a QEMU model plug-in?

It does not sound plausible, let alone reasonable, that a
Mill plug-in for QEMU could require a prohibitive level of
effort. IMHO this is a junior year CS semester project for
one person. It is quite likely one or more of Mill’s many
fans would be happy to volunteer.

The argument QEMU is not “set up” for wide ISAs sounds
questionable. First, QEMU is open source and appopriate
support can be added if and where missing. Second, QEMU
has already been used to model and simulate wide ISAs
and interleaved execution by various projects in the
computer industry. One wonders why the Mill project
did not start with a QEMU emulator. It would have
saved time and effort versus building a complete
simulation environment from scratch.
